Tire pressure

I noticed today that my right rear tire looked a little low so I went and checked it a few seconds ago and my tire pressure gauge will not give me a reading on the tire. The minimum for the gauge is 10 psi. I checked all the other tire and they were within 2psi of factory spec. So the question is could the tire really be below 10 psi and only look slightly low, or could this be something wrong with a valve stem? Thanks in advance.

Take it to where you bought them or any other tire shop. Have them double check your readings and maybe test the tire for leaks.

Whatever you do, DO NOT continue to drive around on that thing...if it really is that low, it can be very dangerous.

I think it was just that low, filled it up to 32 and will monitor it to see if its a leak (I can't imagine it's anything else, I checked it a few weeks ago and it was fine)

Where did you get Pirelli P6000s in 225/50 17 size? I looked on tirerack and they don't have it in that size.

Thanks.
